I run a small ISP on freebsd. I've just got another box (k6-2 400 Mhz/128 Mb Ram) and installed 3.2, now I am upgrading to 3.3. Nowhere in the documentation are there time estimates for an upgrade or each step. To totally rebuild a system with a custom kernal, I completed the following steps in a little over 2 hours: # cd /usr/src # cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile . # vi stable-supfile (set the cvsup host and commented out 'src-kerberosIV') # cvsup stable-supfile 30 minutes (depends on your connection ~ mine is a 768/384 DSL) # make world 1.6 hours # rm -rf /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNAL # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # config MYKERNEL 1 second # cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL # make depend 24 seconds # make 172 seconds # make install 1 second # reboot 72 seconds My upgrade was a total success! When I started this email, I'd only done the cvsup step, but now I am running FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE!
